A vexA Question.

As we sat around the FIRE at tea the
other morning in Mrs. Gray's boudor,
while the men were all away somewhere,
We somehow began discussing whether
those couples were the happier who had
children or those who had not. Mrs GRAY
stoutly asserted that no one could be hap.
pier than she is and hers is large family.
Madelaine smiled in perfect sympathy with
her hostess. She is always sparing o
words, but needs them less than any one
| know OF to expressI herself. Lila who
has no children, looked rather cross, and
remarked in a decidedly sdiky voice that
she and Fred got on as wei as most peu.
pie. A Mrs. Asterisk, who is staying in thu
house, and who is a widow, upheld Tilla
in her view OF the question, and quoted all
sorts OF people whom we did not know.
Opinions we're equally divided, so that we
outsiders did not receive much illumination
upon the subject. But l have a shreNd
notion that it depends to a very great ex,
tent upon the way in which the children
are brought up. II they arc good gentle
Sel-behaved and full OF sweet instincts to
ward Others, az creiui!y trained children
seem to be, then there must surely be q
bond OF union. But noisy, ill-bred, ruds
disagreeable children must be u source Of
discord in any house. The parents blame
each other for the chldren's faults, aud all
goes ill.-Girps GOSSIP in Truth.

Gen. Phil. Sheridan's Diplom acy.

Attention is called in Washington to
what is alleged to be fa;t, namely, that
whenever Secretary Eniicott goes away
from Washington General Sheridan finds
some business requirin, his attention else
where. Mr.. Endicott usually appoints
General Benet to act as secretary of war
while he is out d Washington. Last au.
tumn General Bsnet was in Europe and
General Drum was the actin, secretary.
General Sheridan it is asserted, does no;
Ike to take suggestions from an officer
whom he regards as his own subordinate,
and SO he has adopted the practice OF go.

does. Last week he was on n social and
shopping excursion in New York while Mr.
Endicott was in Boston, and they arrived
